HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT BADMINTON SHOES!

Finding the perfect badminton shoes is crucial to your performance and comfort on the court, as well as avoiding injuries. This guide will help you navigate the many options and find the shoes that best suit your needs.

Badminton is a sport that requires quick movements, sudden changes of direction and explosive jumps. Therefore, it is essential to have shoes that have:

• Unique shock absorption: Protects your feet, knees and ankles from strain.
• Support: Minimizes the risk of injury and provides stability during play.
• Good grip: Prevents you from slipping on the court.

SHOCK ABSORBANCE

One of the most important things is the shoe's shock absorption. In badminton, your legs and feet are exposed to a lot of impact due to jumping and footwork.

It is essential that you choose badminton shoes with appropriate shock absorption for your needs.

We often see people playing with bad or worn-out shoes – this can lead to both short-term and long-term injuries.

Why has Li-Ning developed perhaps some of the best shock absorption?

Li-Ning has developed patented technologies and unique materials for their badminton shoes. In 2022, they launched “Boom Fiber Technology”, originally from their running shoe program.

The technology – characterized by “bubbling” foam – is now also in top models of badminton shoes.

If you play twice a week or more, we recommend that you choose top models to take care of your muscles and joints.

SUPPORT & COMFORT

Fast movements on the court require stability and good support, so support and comfort are crucial when choosing badminton shoes.

Li-Ning shoes are designed with technologies that protect your joints and improve footing – without compromising on safety.

A good shoe should provide support in all directions and minimize the risk of sprains and overload.

Their midsoles contain, for example, CUSHION and Bounse+ , which reduce stress on knees and ankles.

Comfort is also in focus: well-fitting insoles, breathable materials and flexible soles ensure natural movement - even during long training sessions.

GRIP AND OUTSOLE

The sole and grip are critical in badminton, where there are many stop-and-go movements.

Poor grip = risk of slipping and getting injured.

Li-Ning has developed sole technologies that ensure optimal contact with the floor.

Example: The Blade Pro model with Tuff Rubber – a new rubber compound that increases friction and improves grip.

This provides greater security in your movements and better responsiveness.

Regardless of whether you play on wooden or synthetic courts, the pattern and material of the sole are of great importance.

Li-Ning combines durable materials with functional designs for maximum performance and durability.
